My Romantic Adventures #122

Lenore grew up as the daughter of stunt pilot Bud Lewis, watching her father perform death-defying aerial acts—until the day his plane crashed. Grieving and adrift, she finds unexpected purpose when Pete Carter, a charismatic fellow pilot who once caught her eye at the circus, offers her a chance to become his aerial stunt partner and companion. As Lenore trains to master dangerous trapeze work high above the ground, she discovers both the thrill of the act and a deepening bond with Pete—but a catastrophic accident during a new, more daring trick threatens everything she's built.

A young woman questions whether she can accept her boyfriend's loud fashion sense, but when a friend insists that people can change if you're clever about it, she decides to test the theory—using charm, subtle suggestion, and a carefully chosen family story to nudge him toward more conservative tastes. "He Can Be Different!" explores whether love means accepting someone as they are, or whether the right approach can transform the habits that trouble you.

Henrietta Noble has resigned herself to spinsterhood—romance, she figures, is for prettier, younger women—until she encounters Dr. Charles Meriwether at a high-society reception and discovers that love can strike even an old maid. Armed with nothing but her wits, her sewing kit, and a homemade shoo fly pie, Henrietta finds unexpected ways to prove her worth to the man who's captured her heart.

Betty Everygirl believes her love is uniquely hers alone—until a wry narrator takes her on a sweeping journey through history to prove that romance has always burned just as bright, from cavemen to knights to the Pilgrims and beyond. As Betty witnesses love's timeless power echoing through the centuries, she discovers what it truly means to be part of something universal.
